LONDON (Reuters) -Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood scored his 19th Premier League goal of the season in a vital 2-1 away victory at Tottenham Hotspur which sent his side up three places to third in the table on Monday.

Consecutive league defeats had slowed Forest's push for Champions League qualification and they started the day sixth but they got their challenge back on track thanks mainly to a superb start in north London.
